To @ZZ ywhomy i may concern.'

it known that l, ARTHUR S. Moll/inni', a citizen ot tue United States,residing in the city ot New t, county ot Essex, State ot New Jersey,have invented certain new and ustful Coin Receptacles and Stands, whichthe tollowing is a specication.r

This invention relates to receptacles for coins suitable tor deskstands'and similar purposes, and relates more particularly to areceptacle having a front of ci board or other stiliG material, andhaving a back consisting of an envelope or similar receptacle, the frontand back being arranged so as to form a stable stand, and to permitcoins to be inserted in a slot in the front and drop into the rearreceptacle. When the receptacle is full, or when it'is desired totransfer the coins to a bankfor deposit, or to any other place, thereceptacle can be easily de-v tached from the front. f

A particular embodiment of my invention is shown in the accompanyingdrawings, in which Figure 1, is a perspective View of the collapsiblecoin receptacle and stand.

Figure Qisa section of the receptacle and stand taken on the line 2-2 ofFigure 1.

Figure 3 shows a moditied form of my receptacle and stand inperspective.

Figure 4 is a section of the upper part of the modilied torni ot'receptacle and stand taken on the line 4 4 ot' Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a section oit the upper part of i the receptacle with thellap Fturned over the slot.

In the drawings, the front A, of cardboard or other stili1 material, maybe plain or may have on it an ornamental design, a calendar, or otherprinted matter. and the name of a bank or other institution or company,or individual, and in its upper part it has a slot C, for the receptionot coins D, or currency. The back B, is a receptacle, such as anenvelope, or' paper or similar material, thinner than that of the front,but stift enough to form a support for the tront and make a stablestand. The receptacle has two parts, Z) and b1, which are fastenedtogether, in the usual manner of an envelope, to form a receptacle.Atthe upper end of the part b, adjoining the front A, is a slot C1,which corresponds exactly with the slot C in the trent, and the upperportion et Zi, down to lmproven'ients. in Collapsible' the line FJ,below the slot, is attached to A by glue, paste, or otherwise, so that acoin inserted in C will pass through C1 and drop inte the receptacle B.The rback ot' the receptacle l may have instructions, records, addressesor any other desired matter printed er written on it.' i

ln the 4torm'shown in Figures l 'and 2 the 'front A and theback B areboth rectangular and of the 4same width.' The upper Ytlap F'y of thereceptacle is narrow enough to be above the slot, and is closed before,or when, the receptacle B is attached to the front A;

In the modiiied form shown in Figures 3, et and 5, the t'ront A1 hascurved sides and the back B1 is narrower' than the front. The 'tiap F isturned back over the part 22 before, or when, the part o is attached tothe front A. When the receptacle B is detached from the front A, theiiap F', as

shown in Figure 5, is turned over the slot C in part o and can-be`fastened so as to close the slot, being wide enough for that purpose.

rllhis gives additional security against coins dropping out of thereceptacle whenit is carried about atte-r being detached from the front,although in the form shown Vin Figures l and 2, the slot is so nearthetop of the envelope receptacle, that thereV is little danger of thishappening.

In the form shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5,` the parts b and 5 otthereceptacle B may be permanently fastened together at the top, or, itnot, any opening at the top due to the turning back of the flap F can beclosed when the receptacle B is attached to the front A', vby'pasting,glueing or otherwise attaching the top edge of part 13 to the front A orto the part 7).

rFhis coin receptacle and stand is excellently adapted for banks andsavings institutions, and being decorative anu attractive in appearance,it is suitable tor a desk or table or mantle ornament, and it acts as aconstant reminder to save. rllhe back of the receptacle may have anydesired directions, addresses `or other matter printed or written on it.One convenient feature for the front of my stand is 'a monthly calendar,and at the end of the month the receptacle can be detached and taken tothe bank, and a new stand and receptacle supplied.

Various modifications can be made in the and I do not confine inyseltlto the particular embodiment of my invention herein shown described; butwhat l claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. A coinreceptacle and stand comprisingI a stiff liront, a back consisting of anenvelope detaehably secured to said lfront, slots in said front and saidenvelope registering with each other, and a iliap on said envelope whichis bent back When said envelope is attached to said Jiront, and can befastened over the slot in 4said envelope when the latter is detachedfrom said front.

2. A ooin receptacle and stand comprising` a front of cardboard Yor likematerial having a coin slot in its upper part, a bach consisting of anenvelope with its upper part attached to said ifront, and having a Coinslot Which registers With the slot in said front, said envelope'beingdetachable from said front, and 'having a Hap which can be fastened overthe slot in said envelope When said envelope is detached.

3. A coin receptacle and stand comprising a front of cardboard orsimilar' material, a back having a closed' pocket, said front and saidback being detaehably fastened together at their upper ends andseparated at their lower ends so as to 'form a stable base, a slot inthe upper part oi" said front and a corresponding slot in the upper partof said back, and a flap on said baci; i'or fastening over the slot insaid back when the latter is detached from the front. y

In testimonf7 whereof, l have signed in); naine to this applic-ation, inthe presence ot two subscribing Witnesses, this dag.' of Sept., 19,21.
